Article Abstract

A terahertz scanning tunneling microscope (THz-STM) is an STM that allows us to perform time-resolved measurements of tunneling currents with high temporal resolution, in addition to the high spatial resolution of STMs. In such a device, it is necessary to guide the THz beam to the STM tip, which can be difficult if there are tight space restrictions due to experimental requirements, such as ultra-high vacuum and high magnetic fields. We aim to develop a THz-STM that allows us to measure tunneling currents in high magnetic fields at cryogenic temperatures with a time resolution on the order of picoseconds. In this paper, we placed a specially designed chamber containing a homemade STM head inside a superconducting magnet and performed time-resolved measurements of the tunneling current between the Pt-Ir tip and a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) sample. To introduce the THz pulse into the STM chamber, we used a narrow pipe as a waveguide and evaluated a time resolution of better than 1 ps, which suggests that the realization of a THz-STM for multi-extreme conditions with picosecond time resolution is possible.

Persisting Lyme Disease in the Pediatric Population.

Clin Pediatr (Phila)

September 2025

Department of Medicine (Infectious Disease), University of Connecticut Health Center, Boston University Medical Center, Falmouth Hospital, Falmouth, MA, USA.

A total of 101 patients with a clinical picture of persisting Lyme disease seen at the University of Connecticut Health Center and Boston Medical Center were recruited for the study to determine whether persistent infection is the likely cause. Brain SPECT imaging and responses to antibiotic treatments were recorded. Patients had more than 5 symptoms lasting more than 6 months.

Background: Individuals with a family history of bipolar disorder are at increased risk of developing affective psychopathology. Longitudinal imaging studies in young people with familial risk have been limited, and cortical developmental trajectories in the progression towards illness remain obscure.

Aims: To establish high-resolution longitudinal differences in cortical structure that are associated with risk of bipolar disorder.

Few-shot learning for highly accelerated 3D time-of-flight MRA reconstruction.

Magn Reson Med

September 2025

Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging, FMRIB Division, Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK.

Purpose: To develop a deep learning-based reconstruction method for highly accelerated 3D time-of-flight MRA (TOF-MRA) that achieves high-quality reconstruction with robust generalization using extremely limited acquired raw data, addressing the challenge of time-consuming acquisition of high-resolution, whole-head angiograms.

Methods: A novel few-shot learning-based reconstruction framework is proposed, featuring a 3D variational network specifically designed for 3D TOF-MRA that is pre-trained on simulated complex-valued, multi-coil raw k-space datasets synthesized from diverse open-source magnitude images and fine-tuned using only two single-slab experimentally acquired datasets. The proposed approach was evaluated against existing methods on acquired retrospectively undersampled in vivo k-space data from five healthy volunteers and on prospectively undersampled data from two additional subjects.

Arthroplasty surgery is a common and successful end-stage intervention for advanced osteoarthritis. Yet, postoperative outcomes vary significantly among patients, leading to a plethora of measures and associated measurement approaches to monitor patient outcomes. Traditional approaches rely heavily on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), which are widely used, but often lack sensitivity to detect function changes (e.

Background: Soil salinization represents a critical global challenge to agricultural productivity, profoundly impacting crop yields and threatening food security. Plant salt-responsive is complex and dynamic, making it challenging to fully elucidate salt tolerance mechanism and leading to gaps in our understanding of how plants adapt to and mitigate salt stress.

Results: Here, we conduct high-resolution time-series transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling of the extremely salt-tolerant maize inbred line, HLZY, and the salt-sensitive elite line, JI853.
